I've seen a few explanations of this that aren't as doom and gloom as some of the media reports. The first is that the seroprevalence data is based on blood donors, which is not a random sample. It looks like they tried to control for that in the cited study, but I don't see an exact breakdown.

Secondly, Manaus is apparently a hospital the serves a pretty vast rural area, so the hospitalizations may be catching a lot of people that would have fallen outside of the immediate area covered by the seroprevalence survey.

Unless a boat will sink, a plane will fall out of the sky, an unstable chemical will detonate or someone will die or lose a limb, there is nothing in the software world that necessitated me being on call. Oh the systems are down and we are loosing billions of dollars, ok share some of those billions and you will have people lined up to be on call. Tell me it's part of my regular salary and I am nope'ing on to the next opportunity. I am totally in agreement with you on this one. If I am attached to a phone that can disrupt my life at any moment I expect compensation for every hour I am attached to that phone, whether it rings or not, it is surprising how many companies think that is an outlandish expectation, but don't bat an eye at the fact that being on call literally robs a person of their free time and don't see that doing that without further compensation is not an outlandish request.
Nice work taking the time to make your game load quickly! I'm sure I'm not the only person who closes most browser games' tabs when they take longer than a couple seconds to load. First impressions matter.
I don't. Part of the reason is I'm ok with a small chance of a few thousands dollars bill, but a bigger reason is I don't trust insurers: their standard contract would first explain how I have no rights and then add that if I have a problem with that, I can go to their pocket court (arbitration) to learn that I really have no rights.

You can also learn to use the terminal. This can clear many of the problems that you would otherwise have by thinking that the terminal is just another windows/macos application.

I'm not sure about The Expanse, but barry-cotter is right. If you can change the color of the asteroid then through the change in radiation pressure you can change the orbit of the asteroid. This can have a fairly substantial effect over a long period of time.

I'm surprised at the notion that RMS ever had the intention of inhibiting GPL use in Cathedral-style codebases. And I agree with others that big frameworks existed back then also.

>In an OO program all state is global, because you can't understand any given object's behaviour without knowing what its state is and what the behaviours of all the objects it communicates with are, and you can't understand those without knowing their states either.

By that logic all state in any program is global.

But if I'm writing an MMO server my GoldCoin class doesn't need to know about the client's connection state.

There is regulatory risk in Tesla's charging network. The example with ICE fuel networks working is because they're heavily regulated - the type of fuel, octane rating, testing, bowser types. is all set by government bodies.

I expect at some point the EU will step in and open up the Tesla network much in the same way they have with everything from regular fuelling stations to phone chargers.
It’s static (blood glucose testing) sampling versus dynamic (continuous glucose monitoring via interstitial fluid) sampling. The best comparison is that it is like a picture (static sampling) versus a movie (dynamic sampling). It makes a huge difference: you can actually prevent blood glucose fluctuations, blood glucose lows/highs, with a continuous glucose monitor. With a blood glucose meter, at least with type 1 diabetes, you really only can take action after the blood glucose (static sample) is taken, and you really cannot use informed insight moment to moment to prevent things.

The continuous glucose monitors tend to be pretty accurate. The Mean Absolute Relative Difference (MARD) for the ascribed devices:

Freestyle Libre 3: 9.2% (in adults)

Freestyle Libre 2: 9.2% (in adults)

Dexcom G6: 9.0% (in adults)

Also, I regularly test my blood glucose using finger sticks whenever I need to take a fairly large insulin dose and there is a large amount uncertainty of where I may possibly be (such as when my two sensors have a big discrepancy, and especially when my blood glucose is fluctuating). For that, I use Freestyle Lite blood glucose test strips.

About 1 in 25 to 1 in 30 Freestyle Lite test strips I use is about 50 mg/dL off, despite me using proper testing technique, which is quite significant, since my blood glucose values are very tightly managed. It is obvious when it happens, looking at the Freestyle Libre 3 graph, and the Freestyle Libre 3 in this case keeps me from overdosing and causing a serious low.
I have to admit. Its really a bit disappointing to see how many people don't understand the short, given we bailed out and financial institutions, its worth everyone to know.
Your single blade on a rack isn't going to stand up against non-stop ddos attacks. That requires ISP level infrastructure. That's why companies like Cloudflare are publicly listed.

From the wiki "Cloudflare was created in 2009 by Matthew Prince, Lee Holloway, and Michelle Zatlyn.[2] It received media attention in June 2011 for providing security services to the website of LulzSec, a black hat hacking group.[3]"

Your multiple personalities are seeking vengeance on free speech because.. you wanted self hosted hardware??
> Nothing about mobile devices is suited for p2p. Mobile devices are the exact opposite of what you want for p2p to function smoothly.

That's true for their (usually) CGNATed cellular data connections and NATed home wifi connections. But if you were happy to consider a solution where "p2p" meant "peers within bluetooth and wifi range of each other can store/forward messages in a mesh" then mobile devices are _exactly_ the piece of hardware you'd want. Add in some IPFS store/forward from opportunistically internet connected devices to allow message passing between disconnected local meshes, and you should build a really interesting (low bandwidth very high potential latency) messaging system.

(Note: this "disconnected meshes with opportunistic internet connection" is pretty much what things like LoRaWAN and Meshtastic can do, but using specialised LoRa radio hardware instead of the built in capabilities of every smartphone on the planet.)

You have to wonder how much influence the large VC backers of reddit and discord had/will have in the treatment of WSB.

Surely they're not taking too kindly to them making such an mockery of capital markets.
> I read WSB daily for years and cannot recall a single usage of a racial slur.

Same, I've been a subscriber of WSB since at least 4 years ago. I also check TheDonald.win (now Patriots.win) on a regular basis. Both are constantly accused of racism and/or white supremacy and yet I see none of either.

People use terms like 'racist', 'nazi', 'fascist' and many others as synonyms for "any person or thing I don't like or disagree with". It's also the media's favorite new strategy for discrediting sources that contradict their chosen narrative.
There was a time in the US when blue collar jobs tried to spruce things up a bit by adding the term engineer somewhere. Garbage worker became sanitation engineer (not the people engineering separation of recyclables, etc., but your neighborhood garbage truck driver, got example).
I'm curious, if this is the case, why doesn't the market realize this and short sell like crazy right now, given it's clear the price isn't sustainable. That would then generate more negative price pressure and generally keep the whole thing from happening in the first place, no?
They also parsed the actual language they said, they didn't say cover their entire short. Maybe they just closed one contract.
To be precise: As soon as a trade <= 320 is printed, the stop loss turns into a market sell order. It could sell over 320, it could sell under 320 (though much more likely the latter).

You are on the money.

My dog had MRIs and ultrasound recently. Each event was $700-$900 a pop.

I take my dog for routine full checkup that includes MRI and Ultrasound whenever I travel to south america. They use the same machine brand as in the US, with same diagnostics. I pay $50-$85 over there for the same tests.

Vets over in SA (not business owners) make about $500-$1000 USD per month.

It would seem the huge cost is not from the machine. Its the labor. I think these are the 2 key differences:

a) Based on my understanding, getting licensed in this SA country is a nonissue. There is in fact an oversupply of vets because its easy to practice.

b) The price for the vet studies is on the 2k-5k year for a private U. Compare with US Colleges.

Regarding quality: Our vet in SA diagnosed my dog after seeing the US diagnostic test reports , over whatsapp. She was correct on her diagnosis from the start.
It took 4 different US vets, 3 separate facilities, 4 days of hospital bills ($5000) to arrive at the same conclusion that I got from a whatsapp.

It is not the machine problem. It is a captive market with huge costs related to labor.
And if you intentionally want to have content that is objectionable, putting it on AWS seems like an awful idea. That's how Sci-Hub and TPB have managed to stick around for decades, and they've shown censorship on the internet isn't really a thing. God knows how many powerful forces have tried to censor them, to no avail.

While I agree that in some ways this is worse than the Parler case, it also is a free service that costs Discord a ton of money, especially with the hundreds of people constantly hanging out in voice chat [0]. A ventrilo server of that size would probably cost upwards of $100 a month [1]. So I'm not surprised with Discord wanting to enforce their ToS more readily than AWS who was actually making good money out of Parler.

Reconstructing the Motion of a Tossed iPhone
While I don't enjoy being negative, this doesn't sound like a solution that would work - it essentially needs 'boiling the ocean' i.e. convincing everyone else.

(That's literally the plan described in the article)

The first paragraphs of https://clojure.org/community/etiquette nail it: the software community is about making. If you want something done, make it.

How would a "maker-driven" solution look like in this domain? For example:

- make a terminal emulator that accepts the devised keybinding system

- make at least one popular program (e.g. Emacs) play fine
with said terminal

- promote that combination, showing the world how the technology can in fact work. Word of mouth would do the rest.

The big difference is Wayland does not do direct access to hardware -- it instead gives access to a backing buffer which is then copied via hardware acceleration. This does make protocol more complicated, but also ensures that that the programs are absolutely contained by their clipping region.

I use a combination of cookies, fingerprinting, and web-of-trust verification (by volunteer moderators). The WoT works by building a DAG of "vouch" tags for each user. For more capable browser, client-side signing using a private key is available.

There is always an accessibility-security gradient, and there are trade-offs you have to make on every side. The needs of each user are different, and many would prefer to trade a lot of security for a lot of accessibility.

For example, if someone un-housed is only using borrowed devices, older tech, library computers, public wifi, many would happily trade some security for being able to let their loved ones know they're OK.

They're not worried about espionage or privacy, they just want to be able to send an "I'm OK" message to their family every day or two.

For this type of scenario, and many others like it, a simple http-accessible website behind a simple password is by far the best solution I've found to date.
You are not wrong, but you are also missing the part where risk management departments will forcibly unwind shorts of institutional investors, option gamma creating massive amounts of reflexivity and the Weaponized autism of /r/WSB and the viral network effects of its memes encouraging even more reflexivity.

I have no doubt this will end in tears for investors on both sides.

GME's management would be wise to issue 1-200% of new equity at a substantial discount to present market value to short holders (this lets them cover at a lower loss) and sit on the cash to transform their businesses strategic outlook.
How long until Apple and Google ban the Robinhood app?
How confident are you that they followed fundamentals in any original setting? "Fundamentals" is just a collection of metrics and patterns a certain class of investor believes in. Usually those with most money and thus, power.

I think you have a rosier view of what drives most of our markets than what happens in reality. Look at the dot com bubbles. Look at how HFT firms make money by exploiting the tiniest of pricing discrepancies and leveraging them heavily. Or perhaps "analyst reports" that can make or break a stock because one person believes something and we give them a megaphone. We switched focuse from present earnings to forward looking revenue. We have stock buybacks. We applied large multiples to financially unsustainable businesses because "maybe one day they can monetize these millions of users with Ads". etc. etc.

The GFC was a game of trying to sell to the greater fool and involved intentional manipulation at the highest levels. It seems the system has been has always had these holes and it was "ok" until regular folks began to identify and act on these opportunities.

We likely wouldn't be having this conversation if another large hedge fund was making the play retail investors are today. We'd read articles talking about the public battle of the billions.

The majority of IPv6-capable ISPs are using prefix delegation to allow NAT-free operation. Heck, even phones are getting prefixes.
Social media opened people's eyes to just how many different points of views there are on any given issue in the world. In the 90s or 00's, there was only 1-2 consensus views pushed by media.

Obviously its going to be a bumpy ride as the whole of society suddenly has to learn to cope with so many views, learn the critical thinking it takes to grapple with false information, learn who is trustworthy and who is not etc. but in the long run we will be much much better off for it. This is merely what society wide growth looks like - its not going to be a straight line up. Pulling the plug on that is deeply, deeply wrong no matter how scary it seems.

Some of the other issues like disconnection are amplified by existing institutions. In the 60s or 70s, a single working person could provide for an entire family. Now, most households have both parents working to provide barely the same standard of living or lower. When the vast majority of your time is directed into work by economic necessity, of course there is little time left for socializing or anything else. Don't believe the bullshit that it is somehow social media's fault. The trend of disconnection goes longer, and it has just as much to do (or much more IMO) with no free time, no money, stress and insular urban planning.

The institutions are dying because they are ineffective or do not serve the public and have been for far too long. How is it that we had almost a year to prepare for a plan to distribute vaccines but we found out there is none now? How is is that corporations lobby for and routinely pass laws that hurt people? How is it that the health insurance industry still exists and causes millions of deaths when most other countries have lower costs AND better outcomes with socialized healthcare? How is that the central banks are now printing so much money that it will devalue all peoples personal savings by 10-20% over the years without really explaining thats what they are doing, without any approval? How can you keep desperately clinging to some illusion that institutions safeguard society when every institution is failing so badly?

Social media is just the evil boogieman media loves to blame for every modern problem, when in fact it only surfaces the problems that have always existed but been completely ignored by traditional media. Heck even the problem of people being easily fooled by fake news is a reflection of how education completely fails to teach critical thinking. The institutions have failed us all for FAR too long - they cannot be reformed. Burn them down and build new ones.
The Uncanny Valley Is Bullshit
The same way ThePirateBay and Sci-Hub haven't gotten deplatform even while having far more powerful forces after them. It's because the people hosting it aren't incompetent, and unlike what these people crying foul lately will have you believe, censorship on the internet isn't really a thing. You may not get a free megaphone like Twitter, but as long as you know what you're doing, you can have a voice online just fine.
Not always true. I've had brokers force me to close short positions (esp in '08-'09) because 'no shares available' which forced me to buy at the market in order to close out the position. It had nothing to do with interest or margin.

(Granted, they were some pretty illiquid stocks so I suspect that the broker had managed to get into a naked short situation when they allowed the trade to execute before actually trying to go out and borrow them. Of course, their mistake was made my problem.)
> But the reason you're not brute forcing passwords on your bank's e-banking system isn't because you can't or because they are super secure, it's because if you do you'll probably go to jail.

No, this is really out of touch with how crime online works. People that want to hammer a bank rent botnets, use tor, vpns, etc.

Banks get absolutely zero protection from the law in that regard. It’s “illegal” but completely unenforceable to the point of being useless.
So far, in my anecdotal experience, fast food is a pretty good match for supercharging. E.g plug in, run across the parking lot to the McDonalds and everyone uses the restrooms, maybe grabs a snack, whatever. Walk back out to the car, and leave.
I've found that objects best when they are used in moderation. Most of my code is plain old functions, but occasionally I find that using an object to do some things is just much cleaner. The rest of the time doing away with all the baggage associated with objects and using structs or other, simpler structures is just easier to wrap my head around.

Java IMO is the classic case of going way too far overboard with being object oriented. Much worse than Python.

Because the problem they've chosen to solve is "secure reliable e2e encrypted messaging via the internet". (or something very similar to that)

It's a big enough problem on its own. Tacking "p2p" on as well makes it a different thing, which is not what Signal are doing.

I want my Signal messages to arrive at my friends Signal clients, even if that's later after they've recharged their dead phone. I don't want my Signal messages to vanish if I (or a friend) is on a WiFi network where p2p is blocked. There's a serious need for a centralised server for Signals goals to be achieved, so they have one. The fundamental design then means the added benefit of _also_ implementing p2p where possible is small, while the effort/cost is high. Of course that didn't build that.
Apparently there is some consent and interest payment involved.
